Abstract
A timepiece having a speech synthesizer output device is disclosed herein. The speech synthesizer is responsive to sound input such as human voices (e.g., what time is it?) or the sound of clapping of hands to provide an audible indication of time information. The intensity of the audible indication is varied with the intensity of the sound input.
